Soldier Maneuver Sensors - Adv Dev
Abstract
This project enables development of emerging capabilities for the maneuver force, that are envisioned by the Soldier Lethality Cross Functional Team, the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE), the Maneuver Capabilities Development Integration Directorate (MCDID), the Science and Technology (S&T) community, industry partners or the acquisition workforce that may provide the Soldier or Squad increased capability to "fight, win and survive, day and night, in a multi- domain environment now and tomorrow". This project also allows pursuit of technology breakthroughs that challenge current technical solutions and have the potential for providing increased Soldier performance. This effort focuses on capabilities that enable modernization of Soldier sensor and laser devices, including digital features and enhanced solutions including maneuver capabilities to detect, recognize and identify targets, and to provide target acquisition and handoff but not limited to capabilities to mitigate threats. The integration of higher performing multi-spectral sensors with smart processing will provide adjusted weapon sight reticles and leverage network connectivity for improved situational awareness/understanding. Additional project capabilities include advanced optical components and assemblies and techniques for signature management, resiliency across the electromagnetic spectrum, and integration of a modular design structure for target acquisition applications including support for wireless data transfer, passive range determination, technologies for working in a GPS contested environment, advanced GPS replacement technologies and mitigation of manned and unmanned threat sensor systems. This project supports efforts to evaluate and integrate technologies and representative prototype systems including Micro Electronics Modules (MEMS) technology with improved size, weight and power for development of modernized Soldier sensor capabilities transitioning from the S&T stage to operational use. This project includes costs for efforts associated with development, certification, verification and validation of interface products into the Adaptive Squad Architecture (ASA). This project also includes development of tools and emulators of ASA components. Funding in this project aligns with Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy.
